    • Evolving in thin air-Lessons from the llama fetus in the altiplano 
      Llanos Mansilla, Jorge; Riquelme, Raquel A.; Herrera, Emilio A.; Ebensperger Darrouy, Germán; Krause, Bernardo; Reyes, Roberto V.; Sanhueza, Emilia M.; Pulgar, Víctor M.; Behn, Claus; Cabello, Gertrudis; Parer, Julian T.; Giussani, Dino A.; Blanco, Carlos E.; Hanson, Mark A. (2007)
      Compared with lowland species, fetal life for mammalian species whose mothers live in high altitude is demanding. For instance, fetal llamas have to cope with the low fetal arterial PO2 of all species, but also the likely ...
    • The role of nitric oxide in the cardiopulmonary response to hypoxia in highland and lowland newborn llamas 
      Reyes, Roberto V.; Díaz Díaz, Marcela Cecilia; Ebensperger Darrouy, Germán; Herrera, Emilio A.; Quezada, Sebastián A.; Hernández, Ismael; Sanhueza, Emilia M.; Parer, Julian T.; Giussani, Dino A.; Llanos Mansilla, Jorge (Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2018)
      © 2018 The Physiological Society. Key points: Perinatal hypoxia causes pulmonary hypertension in neonates, including humans. However, in species adapted to hypoxia, such as the llama, there is protection against pulmonary ...
    • The role of nitric oxide signaling in pulmonary circulation of high- and low-altitude newborn sheep under ... 
      Herrera, Emilio A.; Ebensperger, Germán; Hernández, Ismael; Sanhueza, Emilia M.; Llanos, Aníbal J.; Reyes, Roberto V. (Academic Press Inc., 2019)
      Nitric oxide (NO) is the main vasodilator agent that drives the rapid decrease of pulmonary vascular resistance for the respiratory onset during the fetal to neonatal transition. Nevertheless, the enhanced NO generation ...
